Okay, folks!
It's time for the Election Day jelly bean contests!
Post your predictions on the three questions below, one bag to the winner of each:
1) Local: The winner and spread in King-Mejias for Congress
2) State: The winner and spread in Hevesi-Callaghan for comptroller (Keep in mind there are two minor party candidates)
3) National: Number of seats picked up by Democrats or Republicans (name the party) in the a) House and b) Senate (Democrats need 15 House seats and six Senate seats to control). The winner of question three will be the reader with the closest combined results from parts a and b.
Good luck!

*mejias is being way too underestimated by you blog-watchers (republicans or not). I think you will be unpleaseantly surprised when he wins.

55 Hevesi -40 (5 other)

If by some pipe dream, Mejias were to win it would only prove how many illegal immigrants the Nassau Democrats were able to enlist to produce a shallow election victory.
How ridiculous?
